Spotify Technology SA said Tuesday that it has launched a
video-podcast feature.
Videos made by podcast creators will play alongside audio
content on Spotify's mobile app or desktop program, the company
said.
Podcasts that will now run with video content on Spotify include
"Book of Basketball 2.0," "Fantasy Footballers" and "The Misfits
Podcast," Spotify said.
In May, podcast host Joe Rogan reached a deal to bring his
popular podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," to Spotify
exclusively. Mr. Rogan's long-running podcast, which includes
video, was previously available on Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube, but he
had withheld it from Spotify citing the company's unfavorable
revenue-sharing terms.
